Human welcome
[edit]Hi Nerva, and welcome to the wikimedia commons from me as well (I'm not a robot ;). Those were some very nice images you uploaded - I've added Category:Art of Estonia to them, there probably should be some more categories to help others find those images but I really don't know enough about it to identify metods, genre etc. If you want to want to try fixing that yourself you may find some helpful links in Please link images.
The reason why there is a robot adding that welcome-template is that there are simply to many new users here at Commons for us to be able to welcome everybody personally. Also, commons is rather different from other wikimediaprojects, so we believe it's important to give everybody the helpful llinks of the welcometemplate (even if it has to be done by a robot).

- Hi Finn, Thanks a lot for your advice. I'll certainly try to categorize the pictures. Creating Category:Art of Estonia seems to be a good idea — thanks.
- About the robot, you know, we get too much spam every day, and I'm sorry I guess I may have overreacted a bit, because it looked exactly like one of those. I know this has nothing to do with spam, and I know there are real people behind the bot, doing hard work. Generally, getting a hello when you've just stepped in is something very kind, absolutely. However I think when there is a robot doing this, it is kind of cool too, but I think the bot could just make it short and stay cool and kind (without shaking your hand and talking for 5 minutes without a break). So, I think one single link would be enough to add to this kind of welcome message, sort of If you want me to help you getting started, just click me or something. All those useful links would come up on the page I would open by clicking on this link. It wouldn't feel unsoliced anymore. I hope you understand what I mean. And, thank you very much for your respond on my message I left to the feedback page. :)--Nerva 18:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Nerva,
do you really own the full copyright of File:Paabel CD Epopoa Front Cover.jpg? CD/DVD covers are usually copyrighted and a photo of such a cover is thereby a derivative (not allowed). In case you contributed to the design etc. of the cover, you should check whether the rights weren't transfered to the record company. --Túrelio (talk) 14:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
